Camping at Saxmundham

Last weekend I went camping with my cousin Eleanor. We had a great time despite the heavy rain and gale force winds that soaked our tent (I’ve had enough of flooding thank you very much) and lifted the gazebo out of the ground.

We went to Fritton Lake which was deserted. It seemed that they had opened just for us. It is a lovely place with lots of things to do so please visit before it closes down.

There was a huge inflatable pillow which we had a great time bouncing on.

It seems that mummy and daddy had a good time as well

After jumping up and down for so long it was time to exercise the grey matter and do some serious strategic thinking. Here I am just about to move Queen to C4 in a manouvre that was to cripple my opponent and eventually help me wipe the floor with Eleanor.  The tense atmosphere could be touched.

When I woke up the following morning, I was surprised to discover that Nick and Jon had pitched their tent next to ours. After a leisurely morning, we headed off to Southwold and spent the afternoon on the beach where the adults lazed about talking and talking whilst Eleanor and I got on with the serious business of making sandcastles.

It was a lovely day and fortunately the big black dirty cloud that hovered over the sea didn’t make its way over to us (for a change).

The following day we went to the lovely picturesque village of Walberswick, which is the setting for one of my daddy’s favourite books/films called The Bridge.

Once again the adults lazed around in the sunshine chattering away about I don’t know what.

Anybody would think they had lots to talk about. Will somebody please push me?
